Once you figure out what kind (focal length, etc.) of lens you want,
look on eBay.

TTBOMK, the F60 takes a standard 39mm thread enlarging lens.

Prices for used enlarging lenses are very low.  On-line auctions
or a WTB advert in rec.photo.marketplace.darkroom will yield
results.  Look at completed auctions to get an idea of going
prices.

El-Nikkor, Rodagon and Componon are the three standard high
quality enlarging lenses.  A 50mm is the usual pick for 35 mm
and 75 or 80mm for 6x6cm.

El-Nikkors come in two sorts: low price 50mm f4 & 75mm
f4 lenses and high price 50mm f2.8 & 80mm f5.6 lenses.
My experience is the lower priced series works just as well as
the higher when stopped down to f8.

... but since all such lenses now are relatively cheap, one might as
well pay the extra $5 and get the better lens ...
